World of Tanks Supertest: Panhard EBR – Tier X
3 min readWorld of Tanks Supertest has received the first Tier X wheeled vehicle, the French Panhard EBR 75 FL10, but with an unhistorical 105mm gun. According to Supertest users, the tank name and some other characteristics aren’t accurate, just placeholders, as the Tier X is currently being tested on the base of the Tier VIII vehicle.
This means the name might change in the future to something Wargaming will come up with as there wasn’t any Panhard EBR build with a 105mm gun. I’m currently trying to find plans or even mentions if the Panhard EBR was to be fitted with a 105mm gun with some of my sources, until then, we will have to just assume it’s a made-up version to fit the game.
The first noticeable feature you will see is the lack of a drum, the gun will be single shot and with a huge alpha for its calibre, quite a difference from what we were shown at Tier VIII.
Of course, let’s keep in mind this is a Supertest and all the information is subject to change, but in my own opinion, I don’t see where Wargaming wants to go with a wheeled vehicle with 420 alpha every 11 to 12 seconds. The vehicle is already unique enough with lower view range, wheels instead of tracks and the new boost mechanics. Why give a higher alpha damage to the same gun used by the AMX 13 105, not to mention it’s the highest damage ever to a 105mm gun. Maybe the balance department wants to juice it up, so they can later nerf it. We will have to wait and see.
For now, the stats is all we got available, no pictures or any other extra information.

Hmm…sure it’s just a supertest and all stats are subject to change, but 198 standard pen at tier 10? Something tells me they’re serious about the high alpha, since you can only pen tier 10s in the side with that kinda penetration. So with the low HP pool of the vehicle, the player could actually have an impact in the match and be rewarded for flanking opponents, the very thing these vehicles are supposed to excel at? ?
Do they realize this sort of gameplay is extremely annoying? xD A tiny Skorpion G at tier 10 buzzing around your tank and there’s nothing you can do about it if you’re alone? xD
…I hope they keep it with a 90mm at tier 10, as shown in the very first reveal, otherwise it’s gonna be the next “REMOVE X” fiasco next to arty.
Can do plenty if you’re alone, just find closest wall/building etc. to reverse into.
check: tanknutdave.com/french-ebr/ at least a F3 90 mm gun it had
Hmm poor viewrange and poor penetration, but high alpha. Sounds just like the formula for a wheeled yolo wagon :/
Too many “what ifs” here Steve (omg where is the nearest wall? Is there a wall at all? Oh look! There is a house 100 meters back.. etc). Puffer wrote it well. Those vehicles are like circling light around super heavy but for ALL cl***es including light tanks. This cl*** should be not just a game changer but gameplay breaker if executed wrong.. And I have to say that adding non-existing high caliber gun is the first step on the wrong way imo.
Why does this 105mm get higher alpha damage than other 105mm guns, mainly on LTs?
Besides, what can you do with 198mm pen and 350m viewrange? Rush in and die?
AMX 13 105 can still flank and deliver 3 shots while being shot at from enemy support, this one has to trade 1 shot to 1 shot, so no flanking allowed until very late game when it can catch a medium/low mobility tank isolated and circle it to death (45 seconds of circling and more for full hp). Not to mention tracking without damage is out of the question with Panhard.
Only good thing is it can 1 shot arty.
I’ll stick to tier 8 Panhard if it comes out as is for scouting and Batchat in tier 10, with all it’s pen problems…
The low pen and view range I’m actually in favour, as these vehicles are fast and lightly armoured, but the high alpha, no! That’s what I’ve been trying to say to WG, they can’t give “everything” to these new vehicles, so that makes them “OP” and so easy to play for everyone. They should require skill to be able to perform.
I can’t help the feeling that this whole idea is gonna be the next poor design move after such true cl***ics as the Japanese Godzilla line, the Defender and Russian buffs in 9.22.
OP tier ten, force everyone to grind the line. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
1 shot arty? You kidding me? All arties at tier X have like 500+ HP, that’s the problem the 13 105 faces, it can’t kill 2 arties, only one and the second one survives, the wheeled tank will need an extra second shot to kill just one unless it uses HE or rolls incredible high. Good luck trying to 1 shot Conqueror GC or GW E100.
33% camo? just know the elc 90 is the best light with 21.9% camo. theres your balancing factor. you can now hide in bushes with super ****ty coverage
